world rights lists // WishlistcodewarriorNov 8, 2003, 12:06am
It would be convenient to have a checkbox in the rights
dialog that signifies that anyone is allowed to enter your world. I know it's redundant since you can already use an asterisk, but if you had the current list *and* a checkbox, you could set up a list you might use while you're working, and then flip the checkbox on without having to lose your list of cit numbers. I know a bot can make maintaing the rights list a lot easier, but a simple 'open season' checkbox would also help tremendously. neocubeNov 8, 2003, 1:24am

Yes.. but I've had this not work too, probably due to a bug I think someone mentioned recently regarding wether you use a space or put it at the end or something. A checkbox labelled "allow all" is a really good way to tell newbies how to open up the world to all visitors without them having to read the docs. Greying out the list entry so they can't access it after also gives them feedback that it's not active. You can miss the asterisk in your list and not realize you're letting everyone in. I suspect this is moot anyway. The world features dialog has broken the barrier and is now in a nice tree format. I'm sure that now that the guts for that kind of dialog are in there, we'll see other dialogs break out into much nicer panels and they will have more flexibility in what they do with the user interface. The rights lists are a ripe candidate for enhancements that would only need to affect the browser (load and save list come to mind). |
